Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper, wrote the screenplay (her first) and won the 2. Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

Here are 1. 3 facts about the hit indie dramedy. THE SCRIPT WAS . I managed to get every person, quirk, and object that has meaning in my life into the script. I wanted to make it deeply personal. I didn't want it to be generic. MICHAEL CERA LIKED THE FORMAT OF THE SCRIPT. In an interview with Collider, Michael Cera said that one reason he wanted to star in the movie was because the script was written like a book. That kind of made me want to do the movie. I thought, well, if it’s written oddly, if it’s not written like a script, then it’s got to be a good movie.”3. ELLEN PAGE DOESN’T CONSIDER IT A PRO- LIFE MOVIE. The film takes an apolitical stance on teen pregnancy, but Page gets upset when “people call it a pro- life movie,” she told the Toronto Star. To me, it’s not a political film. I never thought about that when we were making it. Sometimes I even forget she’s pregnant. The most important thing is the choice is there and the film completely demonstrates that. It allows a scene in an abortion clinic, for goodness sake. A lot of films probably wouldn’t do that.”At a live reading of the movie earlier this year, Cody told Vanity Fair that it “disturbed” her how people considered Juno to be “an anti- choice movie. In a way, I feel like I had a responsibility to maybe be more explicitly pro- choice, and I wasn’t . ALLISON JANNEY APPRECIATED THE NON- STEREOTYPICAL STEPMOTHER ROLE. The actress plays Juno’s stepmother, Bren, who surprisingly supports her stepdaughter’s pregnancy and then forms a relationship with her. And then the one woman who crosses a line is the one I get to tear into, which is always fun to do as an actor.”5. THE “JUNO EFFECT” MAY OR MAY NOT BE REAL. Around the time the movie was released, Gloucester High School in Massachusetts noticed an increase in teen pregnancies. The school’s principal, Dr. Joseph Sullivan, told TIME several young women “made a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together.” The media dubbed it “The Juno Effect.” In 2. Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards told Entertainment Weekly the teen birthrate was increasing. However, since then, teen pregnancies have been on the decline.

At one point we were joking that Michael would walk by in the background of a scene and I would do a double- take as if to be like, . DIABLO CODY APOLOGIZED FOR THE DIANA ROSS LINE. Juno says that her dad named her after Zeus’ wife. She tells him Juno “was supposed to be really beautiful but really mean, like Diana Ross.” At an April all- female cast live reading of the script, Cody told Vanity Fair she “felt bad” about the line, and when she wrote it she thought celebrities didn’t have feelings. To make things weirder, Ross’ daughter, Tracee Ellis Ross, also participated in the reading. You couldn’t cut it out for the reading? That’s my mom for God’s sake,” Ellis Ross joked after Page read the line. THE SOUNDTRACK SOLD MORE THAN 1 MILLION COPIES. Kimya Dawson—along with Sonic Youth, The Kinks, Belle and Sebastian, Cat Power—had songs featured on the film's two soundtracks (the second one being Juno B- Sides: Almost Adopted Songs). The first one was a big hit—it went platinum. Dawson, who plays in The Moldy Peaches, was discovered through her paintings. Three years before the movie came out, Dawson painted a picture for future Juno casting director Kara Lipson. Page was a big fan of The Moldy Peaches and recommended the band to Reitman. Lipson heard he was trying to track Dawson down. I ordered a painting,’” Dawson told Entertainment Weekly. And then, once I’d watched Thank You for Smoking and read the screenplay, I was like, . NAPOLEON DYNAMITE INFLUENCED CODY, BUT NOT THE DIRECTOR. Four years before Juno was released, Napoleon Dynamite, another micro- budgeted film that grossed a lot of money, inspired Cody. And I saw it, and I went, okay, I’ll write something like that. But I’ll make Napoleon a girl,” she told Vanity Fair. But Reitman didn’t understand the Napoleon comparisons. JENNIFER GARNER’S CHARACTER WASN’T THAT COLD. Garner’s Vanessa wants to adopt Juno’s baby. At first she comes across as cold, but eventually softens. I think she just wants this baby, and she thinks the way to go about it is to be as appealingly Leave It to Beaver as possible. And she just forgets to add the human being in there.”1. THE MOVIE ISN’T REALLY ABOUT TEEN PREGNANCY.“We didn’t intend to make a movie about teen pregnancy and the options available to people who find themselves in that situation,” Cody told NPR. And the pregnancy just kind of motivates the story. NEITHER PAGE NOR CODY WAS FAMILIAR WITH SOUPY SALES. Juno references the famous comedian in the movie, even though Page—and possibly Cody—had no idea who he was. I’m always aware of my own failings as a writer.
